Abitibi is immediately to the east of Ontario, between to 47th and 49th parallel, not entirely north of Montreal, as some people like to say, but rather west of it. It's a land of 22,000 lakes and rivers, sometimes immense and deep, that abound in various fish species. It's an unspoiled landscape shaped by glaciers that caused rare geological formations, such as eskers that filter the purest water on earth. The region is considered as the walleye and northern pike fisherman's paradise. Sport fishing enthusiasts travel a long distance to catch and feast on species of game fish. It is also the natural habitat of moose and black bear. Hunting and fishing are longstanding traditions here.
Fly fishing for trout in a turbulent mountain stream, a sportsman readies his net in anticipation of the catch.
